And are SS special margaritas too tame? (Hey, I've got a source for the best lime juice around!) What sort of knick knacks litter your shelves? I, too, live just south (just barely, I think) of the North Pole. And my secret sources are ignoring my pleas for assistance despite promises made!

I could always get you something local or I could be boring (well, less imaginative!) and get you a CD (though the CD wouldn't be boring and would also have a local connection).
